When Duke Jorasmang-Crownguard came about, Jacques Bronzemoon didn’t know how he should behave with the young man.

Married to his twin sister and a foreigner and a magical practioner to boot, Duke Marris Jorasmang-Crownguard was the epitome of how a Demacian should not be. At the same time, Jacques had also...

In a small town just north of Baltimore, a man who considered himself forgettable stumbled upon a revelation.

Deacon Benjamin glanced at the heavy bear fur cloaked man wielding a sword that would have most men-at-arms balking to carry into a skirmish, never mind a battlefield.

But that was what this man did if the shuddering murmurs from one of the man-at-arms was to go by.

“You are sure?” Benjamin asked as he l...

As much as this was supposed to be a “date” between Vivi and I, it turned into a more informal sit and greet not just between us but with the crew of the ship.

As great as a Tarrasque was as a personal Changer form, I knew that sooner or later, Earth Bet would throw something that would match its ridiculousness. After all, Alexandria alone could probably fight a Tarrasque, and all of the Endbrigners had more than enough power, though they may be shor...

The norm of Danmachi’s world was different from what I could do.

First off, the magic I could do was based on systems that I was familiar with in my past life. This included Azerothian magics (fel, arcane, necromantic, nature, holy, and void) and a few others. There was a problem with my [Arcanist], however. I ...

I spent my last week in High Silvermere doing exactly what I told my father: meeting nobles and prying their ambitions and insecurities about their children.

Father held a feast to welcome all of us to the city, and the small city’s many lesser nobles and affluent citizens were invited.

A mutual defense pact was good and all, but it couldn’t keep a people together.

No, for a people to remain together, there needed to be more than just an outside enemy. After all, the likes of the British and the French found native helpers wherever they went.
